Abstract:
Axillary web syndrome (AWS) is a cause of morbidity in the early postoperative period following axillary surgery, which is characterized by cords of subcutaneous tissue extending from the axilla into the medial arm. Few reports have been published describing this entity, which results in pain and a limitation of shoulder abduction. Here, we report a case of AWS that was accompanied with sub-cutaneous nodules mimicking recurrence of breast cancer.
